And responds this one: In today’s lecture, I was able to learn about long term memory and it’s structure. In particular, long term memory has a long duration, no limitations to remembering, and a large capacity. With this information in mind, four things I remember about the last 5 minutes are I was watching the lectures on a patient who had damage to his hippocampus, the patient was not able to remember events after having damage to his hippocampus, the Levels of Processing Model only contains one store where an input is followed by a working memory, and I remember thinking about what time it is because I needed to go to bed soon. I think most of what I was remembering was in my STM while I was remembering it. Based on the fact that short term memory is storing small amounts of information for a brief period of time, I think my memory of wondering what time it is and the Levels of Processing Model are apart of my short term memory (137). I believe these two aspects are part of my short term memory because they only lasted in my thoughts for about 15 to 20 seconds for I later forgot these thoughts. Moreover, as emphasized in the lecture, STM has a short duration that last about 18 seconds and a small capacity. In contrast, I believe the knowledge I learned from the patient who experienced damage to his hippocampus was in my long term memory. I believe this memory is part of my LTM because I was able to store this information for it stretches from just a few moments ago to as far back as I can remember. When thinking about the struggles the patient went through from the lecture, I did not hesitate to look back at my notes which supports I was able to remember this information.
